It was an interview with Paul. Paul said that.I personally know nothing about the copyright laws.There was someone on Paul's board who had the same info and apparently is an copyright attorney and knew all the ins and outs.I thought that John and Paul lost the rights in 69.I thought it was when Dick James sold them down the river.????I'll see if I can't dig up something on it....

She always knew this, so she never wanted to go in with Paul and try to buy them as she knew she'd get them anyway.Not according to Sony...interesting. He didnt own them when he died. In fact..thay have not owned them since 1967. Help me to understand this Auj. I'm lost here. Are we talking about 2 different things and where did you get your info?

Hmm... it makes me think WHAT they(THE BEATLES)are receiving for their song rights?? If any artist releases covers of their songs for an example, won't they receive NONE payments even being the authors??Even not a profit-sharing?? Sorry, 'cos I'm TOTALLY ignorant about this!!
